Michelle Wilson returns to the College of Charleston women's soccer program as an assistant coach after spending the past season in a volunteer role.
Wilson spent 2013-2016 as head coach Christian Michner's assistant, before moving to Long Island University-Brooklyn for a similar position with the Blackbirds. After returning to The College for the 2017-18 season in a volunteer capacity, Wilson is back as a full time assistant coach for her fifth season as part of Michner's staff.
Wilson assists Michner in all facets of the program including training sessions, travel arrangements, recruiting, scouting, player development and academic success.
Wilson was an assistant women’s soccer coach at the University of South Carolina Upstate for one season before her first stint at The College. She assisted the head coach in training players for both practices and games, training goalkeepers, developing a spring conditioning plan, and organizing team community service and fundraising events.
Prior to her season at USC Upstate, Wilson spent the 2012-13 season as an assistant women’s soccer coach at Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C. There, she trained both goalkeepers and field players, communicated with other conference coaches for scheduling purposes, recruited student-athletes for classes 2014-16 and organizing four clinics throughout the year as well as a summer premier camp that brought in nationwide recruits.
Wilson first began her college coaching experience during the fall season of 2010 when she assisted the head coach of Spartanburg Methodist College. Prior to that, she had coached a girls’ middle school soccer team at Oakbrook Preparatory School.
In 2010, Wilson earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Converse College. During her time there, she played Division II for the Valkyries. She later went on to receive her Master of Science in sport management at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
